Not a new idea at all, many compilers for different languages output C as one option anyway[0]. Among languages I've enjoyed using and achieving high productivity is CHICKEN Scheme[1]. The compiler defaults to emitting C, though usually the C code is immediately compiled into binary object or executable form. CHICKEN also integrates very well with C as embedded in a C application, using C libraries or writing C directly in "foreign-lambda*" expressions.
